Module 2 — Utility Systems

Covers factory utility systems that support apparel production.

What you will be able to do

Keep the factory's utilities safe and efficient: electrical safety, steam generation, compressed air, ventilation and water treatment, with the checks that prevent accidents and wasted energy.

The practical work

Walk the utility room: write one safety check and one efficiency check each for the boiler, the compressed-air line, the main electrical panel and the pressing area, and estimate what one leaking compressed-air coupling costs per shift.

Prerequisite: Read module 1 and pass its quiz first.
